TBH I don't care how well heard of a player is. If they are good enough and can fit into BR's system then that's good enough for me. Ok one would like more established players but we need to face facts we have a long way to go before being able to spend in that bracket again.

As for the player himself,  can't say I saw this one coming, and nor any ITK's for that matter haha.... but I think Fulham were linked with him not too long ago.

Good luck

It's called Almere City FC now.

Good to see we've finally signed a winger. Perhaps not the big name myself and others were hoping for but he adds a bit of depth to the squad so thats a positive. Havent seen or heard much about him but from the videos being posted I'd say his main challenge would be the ability to keep possession. Cant imagine he'll have the time and space on the ball to pull off his fancy dribbling and flicks but his pace gives us a decent option we've lacked for a while.

wowzers. who?

to be completely honest here, i've seen loads of people say back to the liverpool way, cometely under the radar with no press rumours... well there's a reason for that.... No one's ever heard of him!

If we sign Sahin or Tello or Dempsey... usually story.

If Arsenal or spurs bought someone noone had ever heard of I bet it wouldnt be reported in the press either.


Anyways. Welcome to the club dude!!

The point is, LFC could have shouted about it and decided not to.

[Redman in wales]

noone bidding for players that no one's heard of shouts about it beforehand.

Is one of the Mods on here deleting posts ? I posted about 15 mins ago and it's gone/...

[andy_g]

i heard about this a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't be bothered saying anything.

[red till i die!!]

everyone says we dont unearth bargains like cisse and cabaye so im happy to see us take a punt on this lad.
only thing is that he will be gone for the month of january every year for that african nations cup .
welcome to liverpool lad.

Apparently he was all set to join Ajax, they agreed a fee and everything ,but his wage demands were considered too high .

10 goals and zero assists in season 2011/2012 with the Dutch League.

Time will tell if he's any good I remain to be convinced.

Its an Arsenal type signing but we are used to paying big money and losing it unfortunately.

I've seen 10 goals and 0 assists in 21 games, but I've also seen he had 10 goals and 8 assists in 27 games from a person who did actual research compared to the site that doesn't really care about the dutch league.

[ycsatbjywtbiastkamb]

those assist stats in footy are f**king useless anyway, all`s that an assist means is that a certain player was the last player to touch the ball before the goalscorer, it doesnt neccessarily mean he created the goal, an assist might be a simple 5 yard square pass after other players have done all the hard work in the build up.
quite often the decisive pass in a goalscoring move that splits the defence is 2 or 3 passes before the goal is scored anyway.

I knew of this deal. Had to keep it close to my chest though.
